Virtualization makes another thing easier: complete, bare-metal backups. With this contributed package ( vzdump ), it is very easy to make backups of complete VE, sometimes with only little distruption. Features: Can send an e-mail when finished Can compress the resulting tarball Can selectively back up individual VE, or just all of them Can use different method to make sure the snapshot is consistent (stop the VE, suspend the VE, LVM snapshot) Restoring is very easy and the VEID can be different than the original Can do differential backup using xdelta (not tested myself)
